When totalitarianism overwhelmed Russia and then Germany there was America to roll over first the NAZIs and then the Soviets. When we go the way of Weimar or the 1917 Duma it is China that will then roll over this new totalist State. China. There will be no Free Nations to undo the American Progressivist Total State.The New Dark Age will have no stars in its sky and no moon and no day.

Wrong.
Citing their own moral superiority, Americans struggled mightily to stay out of both big ones of the 20th century - while remaining not too proud to enrich themselves, fostering commerce with both sides.
American dithering during the Cold War was not quite as bad - not quite. But the condescension was still there.
Intervention - earlier in the now-historic timeline, and with greater determination - could have induced the enemies to back down, short of committing the disasters that ultimately did occur.
